‘But they know it’s going to happen so it is their intention.’

James O'Brien is astounded by caller Michael, who likens Palestinian children being killed to accidentally spilling paint.

I watched The Zone of Interest last night—Jonathan Glazer’s Holocaust movie that triggered the Oscar speech that turned Zionists even more antisemitic.

And it’s very easy to see why Glazer would say what he did, when you watch the film and see how Nazis normalised genocide to

1/ The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a country that has been plagued by complex historical, political, and humanitarian crises. Firstly, understanding its current state requires delving into its tumultuous past.

August 2023.Asylum seekers held on a barge. Tory spokesman says “Fuck off to France if you don’t like it.” Labour blame the government over efficiency and cost of their asylum policies but offer no compassion to asylum seekers. We’ve been here before, unfortunately, August 1939.

'Colonizability of Africa' — British map (1899) showing Africa shaded according to its suitability for European colonisation.

Since 1967 Israel has uprooted over 2.5 million productive Palestinian trees.
800,000 olive trees were illegally uprooted.
In August 2021 alone, 9000
trees were forcibly destroyed.

Making the “desert bloom” by destroying 500 villages & 2.5 million trees.

An excellent talk by John Rees on the English Revolution and the Putney Debates in St Mary's Church. This quote, prominently displayed in the church, still relevant today.
